Abstract

Music can induce strong emotions and psychological changes. The emotional control and mental health management of college students are greatly affected by gender, family background, grade, and other factors. Through music intervention, this paper explores how music-induced emotions influence the emotional control and mental health management self-efficacy of college students. The results show that positive music promotes the control of positive emotions, as positive music can give full play to active emotions; negative music both controls and enhances the negative emotions of college students; music intervention significantly affects the pleasantness dimension of the mental health of college students, but insignificantly affects the arousal dimension. The research findings lay a basis for further studies on emotional control and mental health management of college students.

Highlights

  • Emotional control has a few features as such novelty, validity, and authenticity [1, 2]

  • Some researchers divided the academic emotions of college students into four categories based on arousal level and psychological resilience, namely: high resilience and high arousal, high resilience and low arousal, low resilience and high arousal, and low resilience and low arousal [1415]

Summary

Introduction

Emotional control has a few features as such novelty, validity, and authenticity [1, 2]. The novelty feature of emotional control is an indicator of emotional creativity, which can evaluate the novelty level of an emotional response compared with typical emotional responses in society [3, 4]. Some researchers divided the academic emotions of college students into four categories based on arousal level and psychological resilience, namely: high resilience and high arousal, high resilience and low arousal, low resilience and high arousal, and low resilience and low arousal [1415]. Music has significant advantages acting as a tool of emotional intervention, it can induce strong emotions; compared with static visual images, the emotions induced by music are highly consistent with an individual’s current emotional state [20, 21]. This paper explores the influence of music-induced emotions on the emotional control and mental health management self-efficacy of college students
